Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. An electronic device comprising: an enclosure; a motherboard received in the enclosure; a first bracket, a first electronic module secured to the first bracket; a transfer card electronically coupled to the motherboard; and a securing member securing the transfer card to the first bracket; wherein the transfer card is substantially perpendicular to the motherboard, the first electronic module is electronically connected to the transfer card, thereby electrically connecting the motherboard to the first electronic module; the enclosure comprises a front plate, the first bracket comprises a main body receiving the first electronic module and a flange extending from the main body, and the flange is secured to the front plate.
2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the securing member comprises a first securing portion and a second securing portion coupled to the first securing portion, the first securing portion is secured to the transfer card, and the second securing portion is secured to the first bracket.
3. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising a second bracket securing a second electronic module, wherein the second bracket is secured to the front plate.
4. The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein the transfer card comprises a first transfer connector and a second transfer connector, the first electronic module is electronically connected to the first transfer connector, and the second electronic module is electronically connected to the second transfer connector.
5. The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein the first electronic module is an optic disk drive, and the second electronic module is a front input/output module.
6. The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein the second bracket comprises a positioning plate receive the second electronic module and a clipping plate extending from the positioning plate, and the second electronic module is secured to the second bracket by the clipping plate.
7. The electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the second bracket further comprises a mounting plate extending from the positioning plate, and the mounting plate is secured to the first bracket.
8. The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the positioning plate is substantially parallel to the motherboard, and the mounting plate is substantially perpendicular to the positioning plate.
9. The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the enclosure further comprises a bottom plate, the second bracket further comprises a supporting plate extending from the positioning plate, and the supporting plate supports on the bottom plate.
10. An electronic device comprising: an enclosure; a motherboard received in the enclosure and comprising a connector; a first bracket; a first electronic module received in the first bracket; and a transfer card secured to the first bracket; wherein the transfer card is electronically coupled to the connector, the first electronic module is electronically connected to the transfer card, thereby electronically connecting the motherboard to the first electronic module; the enclosure comprises a front plate, the first bracket comprises a main body receiving the first electronic module and a flange extending from the main body, and the flange is secured to the front plate.
11. The electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the transfer card is substantially perpendicular to the motherboard.
12. The electronic device of claim 10 , further comprising a securing member, wherein the securing member comprises a first securing portion and a second securing portion coupled to the first securing portion, the first securing portion is secured to the transfer card, and the second securing portion is secured to the first bracket.
13. The electronic device of claim 10 , further comprising a second bracket securing a second electronic module, wherein the second bracket is secured to the front plate.
14. The electronic device of claim 13 , wherein the transfer card comprises a first transfer connector and a second transfer connector, the first electronic module is electronically connected to the first transfer connector, and the second electronic module is electronically connected to the second transfer connector.
15. The electronic device of claim 13 , wherein the second bracket comprises a positioning plate receive the second electronic module and a clipping plate extending from the positioning plate, and the second electronic module is secured to the second bracket by the clipping plate.
16. The electronic device of claim 15 , wherein the second bracket further comprises a mounting plate extending from the positioning plate, and the mounting plate is secured to the first bracket.
17. The electronic device of claim 16 , wherein the enclosure further comprises a bottom plate, the second bracket further comprises a supporting plate extending from the positioning plate, and the supporting plate supports on the bottom plate.
